    Hi, can you tell me if the yellow and blue TRD bilsteins and coils found on TRD's will fit a 2nd gen double cab long box 2011 SR5? Would they add any lift compared to stock SR5 black shocks and springs?
    Please advise your thoughts .

    Yes they fit and provide no more lift. You should look for some 2017 takes offs, they will give you 1” in the front.

    Yea that's a mistype, I meant from a 3rd gen not just a 2017. All the third gens sit an inch higher from the factory so they will give a 2nd gen a 1" lift.

    Blue and black are from the TRD sports. TRD Offroad is the better ones (Bilsteins shocks; Yellow and blue). The TRD Pros are the best (Fox shocks; Silver and ?). I will be getting rid of my TRD Offroad (Yellow and Blue) in a couple of weeks when I get my new suspensions installed (currently being shipped) if you are still in the market for em.

    So did you install these yet? I just bought some and want to see how you like them before my install. Did your ride improve?

    Hi, yes I like them very much and the ride is great. I had Eback 620# coils and 5100 Bilsteins on and broke a spring on N.Y. goat trail roads. The 2017 TRD OFF Road take offs were the most economical fix. I was worried about the height difference but actually gained 1/4" over my previous set up. Truck looks and rides very well. Good luck.

    I'm finding the general opinion to be that the green/red dots are the driver's side. The ones I picked up were marked D and P when removed and that color combo agrees with my set.
